Day 6: Uludag, Bursa

A week almost over now.. on our 6th day, we are in Bursa.. and the only thing I really look forward to, is Uludag!! I want to touch the snow, I want to feel it under my skin, I want to swim in it if I can.. hahahahaa .. people mentioned about Bursa as a place to shop.. but who cares about shopping... I didn't come to Turkey to shop.. didn't put any budget for it anyway.. so Uludag is definitely my main thing in Bursa..

Uludag is just 30 mins away from Bursa .. after breakfast at the hotel in Bursa, we followed our GPS to Uludag.. opss btw, the hotel is not really cheap as Bergama, but we don't really have a choice.. it cost me around 70-80lira, I think.. it's a big town, so I think it was just appropriate cost.. and we were tired, so we just stayed at the first hotel we find..

Back to Uludag story.. btw, there was no snow at all in Bursa .. after 15 mins climbing (by car of course, hahahaha Oh my English!!!) the road to the place, we started to doubt our GPS, as we had bad history with it.. but just few minutes later, we saw a car with snow all over it's roof .. OMG!!! my heart pumps with excitement.. superb!!! and after a few more minutes of driving.. you will start seeing snow, and more snow .. and whole land and trees covered with white.. my heart was crying with gratefulness to my Creator for giving me the opportunity to see this beautiful place..

for those who lived in 4 seasons country, you might feel like normal to see snow, but for me, it was priceless ..

I start singing my fav song:

"Perjalanan ini terasa sangat menyedihkan

Sayang engkau tak duduk, disampingku kawan

Banyak cerita.. yang mestinya kau saksikan

Di tanah kering berbatuan" ...

I know .. I know.. the lyrics doesn't make sense with what I saw at that time.. but it was a great song, and I was so amazed by the view.. and this song always remind me to be thankful to Allah.. and at that time, that was exactly how I feel..

Here are some superb photos for uols. :)

Beautiful Uludag

Syoknya main salji..

Tried skiing, but failed tremendously.. so I gave up..

Superb view!!!

Another superb view..

"kawan cuba dengar apa jawapnya
ketika ia ku tanya mengapa
bapak ibunya telah lama mati
ditelan bencana tanah ini..

sesampainya di laut.. ku khabarkan semuanya
kepada awan, kepada ombak, kepada matahari
tetapi semua diam.. tetapi semua bisu
tinggal aku sendiri.. terpaku menatap langit..

barangkali di sana ada jawabnya..
mengapa ditanahku terjadi bencana
mungkin Tuhan mulai bosan melihat tingkah kita
yang selalu salah dan bangga dengan dosa-dosa
atau alam mulai enggan
bersahabat dengan kita
cuba kita bertanya pada.. rumput yang bergoyang"
